Charlevoix special says: There were fifty
seven persons, passengers and crew, on the
Champlain, but twenty seven are known to
be saved. Captain Casey says that within
ten minutes from the time the fire broke
out the boat was in flames. The captain
gave immediate orders for lowering the life

She grounded mile from shore, however,
and the passengers we're forced into the
water, many of them jumping overheard.
The books were lost and Clerk Henry Bur-
ham died of exhaustion after being picked
up, and it is doubtful if complete list of
the lost will ever be secured.
Miss Ella Wilson, of Potoskey, says she
was let down by ropes into the water. She
saw a gentleman clasp his little son
in his arms and Jump overheard.

covered his dead body on the beach.
Albright was rescued after two hours,
though he would have been left to his fate
had Lot friend recognized his voice and
insisted upon his being taken aboard, which
was even then loaded to the waters edge.
The survivors speak in the highest terms
of the GOODNESS, bravery and gallant con-
duct of captain Casey and his crew.

CnraLee's Trial.

ST. LOUIS, June 20.-Fourteen witnesses
were examined for the defense in the Cora
Lee trial at Springfield, to-day. Matte
Dyer, a damaging state witness, admitted
that she would very much desire to see Cora
Lee hung. Eta Molloy and Emma Lee
testified that Cora SLEPT with them the night
of the murder, retiring about 8 o'clock and
she did not leave home during the night.
Several witnesses testified to-day in sup
port of the defenses theory that Graham
and Sarah got off the train at Dorchester
while Cora Lee was at home, sleeping by
the side OF her sisters. About3 o'clock Cora
Lee was called. Leaving circle of lady
friends she walked calmly and cody to the
stand and testified fifteen minutes without
emotion. She said on the night of the muir
der she was at the Molloy farm sleeping
with Eta Molloy and Emma. Late in the
night she was awakened by some one tap
ping at the window and she asked, ''Who 3
there" The reply was, "Me." She didn't
recognize the voice and so the girls got up
and went with her to the door, because she
was afraid. 1t was Graham returning home.
She denied all allegation against her moral
ity in detail. The first time Sarah Graham
came to Springfield was when her body was
found.
Adjourned.
Tomorrow few witnesses will testify in
rebuttal on both sides. After this the argu-
ments will begin.

A Balloon Left st. Louis Yesterday for .

ST.. LOUIS, June 1.-THE World and Post
Dispatch balloon was cut loose to-day at
Sportsman's park, and after just skimming
over the roofs of the small houses near,
made dive for the earth and then caper
for a grove of tall trees, but two bags Of
ballast being hastily sprinkled out the
monster lunged into upper space and
in few moments appeared as Iesplendent
epeck among the heecy clouds, racing
toward the east A large concourse of peo-
pie gathered at the park long before noon
snd patiently awaited the ascension. The
balloon was filled from gas from q city
main. and 140, 900 feet we're required to dis
tend the folds to the satisfaction of the aero
naut, yet falling 5000 short of his full de-
sire, and in consequence much ballast had to
be left out. In emptyjng this the aeronout
was seriously injured, two fingers OF his left
hand being lacerated. In care are four
men. A. E. Moore, aeronout: Professor j.
G. Doughty, photographer; E. Welder, the
Worlds correspondent, and Professor
Hez4n of the signal service. Although
lacking sand ballast there is sufficient tenn.
of water, 100 pounds of provisions,
heavy clothing, Photographic and
observers instruments, tw@nty carrier
pigeons from different stations in Missouri,
which will return with messages this even
ing, and the other will be liberated during
the day tomorrow. Professor Hazen says
the current of air to an altitude of 1000 feet
is northeast and 5000 feet is almost directly
east. It is within the power of the aeronaut
to ascend or descend to these currents as
he desires, and thereby control his course.
They will avoid great lakes, and by to-mor-
row evening expect to land in Massachu-
sstts or New Hampshire.

SAN Francisco, June 20.-A year and a
half ago a proposition was advanced that if
a subsidy could be secured from the United
States government submarine cable would
be laid from San Francisco to
Australia by way of the Sandwich Islands
and Fiji, and as nothing could be secured
from this government the projectors selected
Vancouver. the terminus of the Canadian
Pacific railway, as the American landing
place of the cable. Audley Coote, of Tas-
mania, managing director of the Gable COM
pany, arrived in this city yesterday en- route
to Australia. In speaking of the prospects
of the company, he said: ''We will touch at
Hawaii and FIJI, having secured a substan-
tial subsidy of 100000 per year from the
Canadian, Hawaiin and Australian govern
ments, of which Hawaii contributes $4,000
per year. The total cost of the Pacific sub
marine cable will be $10,0O0,000.

WENT INSANE OVER THE DEAL.

The Alleged Misfortunes of q Pennsylvan-
ian Drives Him to Attempt Suicide.
G1ENv1Ew. Pa, June 20.-Monday last
Walter Wade, bold provision speculator,
returned home from California to fulfill a
promise of marriage with Miss Fanny Eek
ert, which was to take place Thursday. On
Wednesday, owing to a misfortune
in a speculation, Wade attempted
suicide and is now hopelessly in
sane. The young man, after graduating
with honor at college, took trip 10 Cali
fornia, borrowing $1,O00 from his father,
promising to repay him with interest. -Four
years afterward he walked into his old home,
seated himself by his fathers side, and be-
fore the usual welcome, handed him check
for $1,24O, the money with interest that he
had borrowed four years before.
He then told of his marvellous speculation.
Having amassed $1,0OO,OOO again he de-
parted, and his letters home boasted OF con-
tinued success The wedding with Miss
Eckert was set for June 16. A wine supper
and dissipation followed and he began to
lose money. Dissipation and hard luck
travelled hand i'll hand, until all his money
was gone, and in letter to his sweetheart
he said that of the $4,000 she had put III his
hands for safe keeping all was gone.
Eighteen months ago he was
swindled out of a large amount of
money by band of sharpers,
and in December he lost heavily in the stock
market. Recently he invested heavily in
pork and wheat, and corners swallowed all
his remaing money. Wednesday he retired
to his room and an hour later his father
found him hanging by the neck from the
bedpost nearly dead. He cut him down and
resusticated him, but physicians say he Is
hopelessly insane. His sweetheart was noti-
fed, and she now watches dolefully at his
side, listening to his rawlings over the stock
markets. Wade was 80 years old.

Mci,ane has demanded of M. Flowens
French minister of foreign affairs, the re-
lease of Baron Raymond Selliere, brother
Of Princess Logan, who was recently placed
in lunatic asylum by relatives on the
grounds that he had become insane respect
ing fabulous fortunes that he
imagined that he was making

in New York, declared his intention of be-
coming naturalized citizen of the United
States, aud contends that such a declara-
tion entities the baron to the same treat
ment due American citizens abroad, and the
French cabinet will consider the question at

CHICAGO, June 18.-When Judge Shep-

defendants managed to keep up an ap-
pearance of GOODNESS. Ed Mcdonald was
apparently occupied entirely with newapa-
Der he was reading. n. Q. Mcdonald sat
behind his brother. Only couple OF sttor-
neys, one of each side, were present, the
others not expecting verdict so soon. The
space inside the railing was filed with those
who had figured in the trial, while
the lobby was almost empty. The jury
we're led in. They looked solemn and their
appearance spread the presumption At once
that the verdict would be against the de-
PENDANTS. Remarks of this character were
heard all over the room. When Judge Shep-

McGarigle fixed his piercing black
eyes on the jury, and for a moment
there flashed through them a light
betraying fierce passion. His face
assumed deep red, and moment later his
frame collapsed and his head fell forward on
his breast.
Mcdonald dropped his paper and his face
became flushed. But his brother whispered
a few words in his ear and he maintained
his erect and stOlid position. Two minutes,
and he was again lost, or pretending to be
lost, in his newspaper.
